Dumars Not Done Yet

Pistons general manager Joe Dumars has made a number of moves this offseason, but says that he still has more work to do.

Detroit has already signed free agents Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva, fired coach Michael Curry and hired John Kuester as his replacement.

"We definitely have more work to do," Dumars told the Detroit News. "And that means immediately -- free-agent stuff and a possible trade to create more cap space. Not only are we transitioning on the court, we're transitioning in the type of players we're acquiring."

While the Pistons have a tradition of winning this decade, Dumars doesn't want to put undo pressure on the shoulders of his new coach.
"Expectations the last seven years were very high, make or break," Dumars said. "That's not the gun to John's head right now. We just want to get headed in the right direction."

Joe still has a lot left to do....in addition to finding a couple of more players to fill out the roster, he still needs to talk to Bill about the assistant coaching position, help the Q'ster find an apartment near Championship Drive and isn't one if his kids ready to enroll in college this fall?......nope he's not done yet, his plate is full this summer.

Here is the scouting report on that Cap Space guy everybody is talking about :

Strengths : Has a LOT of potential...Can play all 5 positions...Depending on how you use him, he can provide defense, low-post scoring, outside shooting, leadership...6"11 and still growing...Ultimate Luxury Tax stopper...

Weaknesses : Played for a lot of teams over the years, and most of the times didn't fit...Doesn't make his team and his teammates better...Doesn't sell tickets...
